Important Note: Some browsers
will uncompress the files but leave the
extension the same (gz) when downloading. If the above steps do not
work for you, try skipping step 1 and go directly to step 2 without
changing the filename.

Eg. "cpio -idmv < lnx_920_disk1.cpio.gz"

You should now have three directories called "Disk1, Disk2 and Disk3"
containing the Oracle9i Installation files:

The "Link" phase will now successfully continue to 100% complete.
When the "Link" phase is complete, you will be prompted to run
the $ORACLE_HOME/root.sh script as the "root" user account.
Go ahead and perform this action. When prompted for the "local bin directory",
I generally choose to put the files in /opt/bin keeping with
by old conventions of Solaris. You may choose to use the default of
/usr/local/bin if you would like. Just make sure that whatever
directory you choose that it is in the PATH environment variable of the
"oracle" user account.

Completing the Installation

After running the root.sh script in the above step, you have successfully installed
the Oracle9i database software. At the "End of Installation" screen,
simply hit the "Exit" button. A few seconds after hitting the "Exit" button will
bring up "Oracle Enterprise Manager" (OEM). I generally exit from the OEM application
as I keep a central repository for all nodes and databases.

From here, it is time to create the O920DB Oracle database. In the
Configuration Files / Scripts section of this document,
I put together
an example initO920DB.ora instance parameter file along with
a set of CREATE DATABASE... scripts in an archive named
create_database920.tar.

An example "create database" set of scripts. Untar the file to ~oracle/admin/O920DB/create.
If you decide to change the name of the ORACLE_SID, here are the files that need to be changed:

crdb.sh

create_database.sql

The main script to run is: RUN_CRDB.sh.
